SquadFin vs keeping it in a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet is where most records like these start. SquadFin keeps the simplicity and adds what spreadsheets can't do on their own.
Choose SquadFin if: More than one person needs to see or add to the record. You want reminders, statements or fair-share calculations done for you.
Choose spreadsheets if: It's a one-off list only you will ever look at.
